Rex Earl Wright-St Clair

See PDF] Rex Wright-St Clair, who did so much to promote the study of medical history in New Zealand, died in his sleep at Auckland on 17 February 2005 after attending the opening session of the 9th Biennial Conference of the Australian Society of the History of Medicine. Other than a brief interlude as a locum in Auckland, Rex spent the whole of his professional career in his native Hamilton, working for two decades as a sole practitioner GP until a stroke encouraged him to embark on a new career as a medical administrator, initially as assistant medical superintendent of Waikato Hospital and then as medical superintendent of the Waikato Hospital Board Community Health Service from 1977-1988.
